This Is Why Men Will Wear Black To The Golden Globes

Is Wearing Black To The Golden Globes All They Can Do?

Long Story Short

The Rock and other A-listers plan to wear black to the Golden Globes, but some are questioning if the move is a strong enough statement.

Long Story

Red carpet season is upon us and actors are planning to make a splash with their outfits -- and I'm not talking about a trend like poofy hair or see-through dresses.

Female actresses are protesting by wearing black in solidarity with the women harassed by Hollywood jerks like Harvey Weinstein. Now men are taking up the call as well.

Stylist Ilaria Urbinati posted on Instagram to say that the men she's styling will be wearing black as well.

One of the guys she's styling, The Rock, said he'd take part in the protest, according to Vanity Fair.

But is wearing black really enough of an effort -- especially considering most dudes wear black suits to these events already?

A recent article on Mic argued that wearing black isn't enough of an effort. And actress Rose McGowan, one of Weinstein's accusers, called out Meryl Streep for taking part.

“Actresses, like Meryl Streep, who happily worked for The Pig Monster, are wearing black @GoldenGlobes in a silent protest,” said McGowan on Twitter, as per Teen Vogue. “YOUR SILENCE is THE problem. You’ll accept a fake award breathlessly and affect no real change. I despise your hypocrisy. Maybe you should all wear Marchesa.”

Streep has since responded to McGowan, saying she wasn't aware of Weinstein's behavior before the accusations.

“It hurt to be attacked by [McGowan] . . . but I want to let her know I did not know about Weinstein’s crimes, not in the 90s when he attacked her, or through subsequent decades when he proceeded to attack others,” Streep said in the statement.

As for the guys, maybe they'll go with black on black for something a little different? But yeah, there's probably more they could do.
